Abstract

Science education at an early age plays an important role in fostering scientific literacy, curiosity, and interest in learning. However, science learning for kindergarten and elementary school children is often delivered through conventional approaches that provide limited opportunities for direct exploration and experimentation. This community service program aimed to implement simple chemistry demonstrations as an interactive science education medium to enhance children's interest and curiosity toward science. The program was conducted through the Gorontalo Expolaboratorium – Science for Kidz at the Integrated Laboratory of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, involving 17 kindergarten and elementary school students from six schools in Gorontalo Province. The activities adopted an experiential learning approach combined with inquiry-based learning, featuring five simple chemistry demonstrations: Lava Lamp, Balloon Inflation, Elephant Toothpaste, Invisible Ink, and Dragon's Breath. Program evaluation employed descriptive qualitative analysis supported by quantitative data collected through observations, documentation, participant engagement, and satisfaction surveys. The results showed that all participants completed the entire program with a high level of enthusiasm and active participation. Approximately 80% of participants and their parents expressed satisfaction with the activities. The demonstrations successfully stimulated children's curiosity, encouraged them to ask questions, participate in discussions, and relate scientific phenomena to everyday experiences. Furthermore, the program enhanced the pedagogical competencies of graduate students serving as facilitators in communicating scientific concepts to young learners. These findings indicate that simple chemistry demonstrations provide an effective, enjoyable, and experiential approach to introducing science concepts and promoting scientific literacy among young children

Abstract

The demand for clean water in Indonesia has been steadily increasing, but water pollution from industrial wastewater, especially from tofu production, remains a significant challenge. This study investigates the potential of fly ash and bottom ash as adsorbents to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in tofu wastewater. Laboratory experiments were conducted with different adsorbent doses of 25, 50, and 75 grams. The adsorption process involved stirring the samples for 60 minutes, followed by a sedimentation period of 120 minutes. The results showed that fly ash was more effective than bottom ash in reducing COD and BOD levels. At a dose of 75 grams, Fly Ash achieved a 72% reduction in COD (from 0.8672 mg/L to 0.2438 mg/L) while Bottom Ash resulted in a 68% reduction with a final COD concentration of 0.2735 mg/L. A similar pattern was observed in the reduction of BOD. These results indicate that both fly ash and bottom ash can be effective and environmentally friendly alternatives for the treatment of tofu wastewater.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji efektivitas limbah pembakaran batubara, yaitu Fly Ash dan Bottom Ash, sebagai adsorben untuk menurunkan kadar Total Suspended Solids (TSS) dalam limbah cair industri tahu. Tujuan utama dari studi ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi kinerja kedua jenis adsorben dengan variasi dosis (25, 50, dan 75 gram) serta membandingkan efisiensi penurunan TSS. Metode eksperimental kuantitatif digunakan dengan mengaktivasi Fly Ash dan Bottom Ash, kemudian mengolah sampel limbah melalui proses sedimentasi dan filtrasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penurunan TSS yang signifikan, di mana Bottom Ash mencapai efisiensi sebesar 94% (0,921 mg/L) pada dosis 75 gram, lebih unggul dibandingkan Fly Ash yang mencapai efisiensi 92% (1,146 mg/L). Fly Ash memerlukan dosis yang lebih tinggi untuk mencapai hasil yang setara, mengonfirmasi keunggulan Bottom Ash dari segi porositas dan konduktivitas hidrolik untuk aplikasi skala besar. Kedua adsorben memenuhi baku mutu air limbah berdasarkan standar Indonesia, membuktikan kelayakan praktisnya. Dalam studi ini, Bottom Ash juga terbukti tahan terhadap penyumbatan dan memiliki biaya rendah karena memanfaatkan limbah PLTU yang melimpah. Penelitian ini menawarkan solusi ramah lingkungan untuk pengolahan limbah tahu sekaligus mendaur ulang abu batubara, sejalan dengan prinsip ekonomi sirkular.
